E3 2013: Sony Reveals Indie Games Plan

Adam Boyes, Sony Head of Third Party Relations came on stage to announce the introduction of an indie game created by Super Giant Games, creators of Bastion, followed by a raft of other indie developers supporting Sony’s next generation console exclusively.

Two of the employees of the company came on stage to show Transistor, a new indie game for the PlayStation 4. A stylized looking game that plays from a top down perspective. From the trailer, the game looks quite exciting.

Indie developers can now also publish their own games to the PlayStation Store. There is also a new section for the PlayStation Store specifically for indie games.

Klei Games, Tribute Games, Young Horses, Switchblade Monkeys, Red Barrels and 17 Bit Games are among the many indie developers being lined up for exclusive console debuts on the PlayStation 4.

A student in England, Andy tries to read any piece of industry news he can find. He realised he wanted to write about his passion for games as a job after playing Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. It is, in his opinion, one of the greatest games he has ever seen. He plays the most on the Playstation 3 but has owned all of the current generation consoles and sees the positives and negatives of each.
